I've sat idly by the past two weeks as the Will Ferrel post on youtube has been viewed over 2 million times and has been reposted by countless other people. If for some reason you live under a rock or in a cave with Osama and haven't seen it, here it is.

Now all the democrats are applauding as the idiots in Hollywood cheer about how great this video is...
Since when is it a crime to make money in a capitalistic society? How many executives of these insurance companies actually have a petting zoo versus the number of insane entertainers?
Granted, I do believe if these millions the execs make are being made due to negligent and wrongful denial of claims simply to boost revenue for their companies, then yeah, they should be put in jail and hung in the town square. (We really need to debate getting back to public hangings by the way)
However, if it's legitimate earnings then my only concern is regulations. If we regulate the amount they can make, then maybe we will have more affordable insurance premiums.
At this time, though, that is not the discussion.
The discussion is.......
HOW THE FUCK DOES WILL FERREL THINK HE HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ANYONE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY CAN MAKE???!!!
I mean seriously people.. How does he make more in three months of work on a film than the insurance execs make all year and have the balls to question them? In the three months it takes to make a movie, he TEMPORARILY hires a couple hundred people while these insurance companies hire thousands nationally. He doesn't provide benefits for these people like the insurance companies do, he hires contractors responsible for their own. So why not employ the people he uses on his films on a full time basis? Give the a salary and benefits, 401k? I mean really, its not like we don't see the same actors in all the films anyways, so chances are the behind the scenes crew is close to the same.
Even if this thing manages to pass (which the first try failed earlier today) Will's 20% contribution to the cause, although monetarily much more than mine would be, would be a lot less detrimental to his livelihood than it would be for mine.
Ever notice how every time the deomocrats propose something idiotic and the rest of the world calls them out on it, Hollywood explodes with some dumb shit?
Half the people in the youtube video said they were going to move out of country if Bush was re elected... So, why the fuck are they still here!!!
Realistically, we have become a nation of Boobtube people that idolizes Hollywood and the movies allowing them to dictate what we perceive to be truths rather than fiction.
Did anyone catch that Hollywood released "Commander in Chief" in 2005 just after Bush was re elected portrayed a women president. Shortly after there was a lot of hype with Hillary Clinton running in 2008?
It was a simple test to see if America would accept the thought? Even through they claimed to have number 1 ratings they ended the series after the second season. Their test failed. America didn't want to think about a woman president no matter how many times they name dropped Hillary Clinton.
Now we have Obama. Who i believe won simply because he is an eloquent speaker and a great politician. He can make the masses believe what he says, then go to another state and say the opposite and make them believe. Now he is in office and all that he promised is crumbling... Attempts to create more government agencies when we cannot control the ones we have are failing. His foreign affairs strategy sucks and he is now avoiding the very Generals he put in place. Obama had an answer for everything and now we have nothing going right.
So, what's the best answer???
Why it's Hollywood of course?
Let's take some of the attention off of the OBVIOUS things that are wrong and pick on capitalism. But only pick on the segment they disagree with. Movie companies make more every year IN PROFIT than any insurance company. How about they stand up and match the "TAX" that they want to impose on everyone else.
Why don't we regulate how much they can earn, or cap the salaries or payouts; including bonuses and residuals, that an individual actor can make?
I don't understand how they were quick to bail out banks that charge us out the ass for fees, car companies charging way too much for a vehicle, and airline companies that are ridiculous with what they charge us; but can feel ok for making anywhere from 2 to 100 million dollars for three months worth of work....
Why do we even give them 2 million hits on such an idiotic thought?? Trusting Hollywood with our political beliefs is like asking Drew Brees to do open heart surgery on you... Sure he's a great quarterback, but, chances are he shouldn't touch the surgery room.
We all like entertainment, but, come on!! Let's have $1 tickets and free popcorn!!
If we are going to be a socialist country, let's do it all the way.....
Hollywood.... I say to you... PAY UP! or simply SHUT UP!
